Nope, I only race in the winter time (like now) and it is setup for indoor competive carpet racing. Our local track is about 45ft x 90ft and depending on the layout, good times would be between 9 and 11 sec per lap. Of course as long as I can fly the foamies the cars are on the back burner along with the helis... Last time I raced was in March, last time I flew a big heli was in May.... been in foamie land ever since!

I used to race 12L's on carpet too, we used to have a nice LHS that had an indoor track and several slotcar tracks. All racing was done on the week days so you could pay a track fee on the weekends and just run all day. It was a blast. I miss on-road elec. You just need a spot to run em.

There is a great indoor track here, I also have 1/12 and 1/10 (WGT) pan cars, with foam tires, etc, they are a blast, I think the 1/10 WGT pan/class is my favorite. Also like the 1/10 touring car Vintage Trans Am Class, kinda slow but coolie bodies, Carmeros, Mustangs, 'Cudas and stuff like that.

That's a great pic, love the hanging system, wish I had the room for it.

It's a five foot bar and could probably get 12 or so 32"ish foamies on it pretty easily, the ones that take up all the room are the ones with wheels. I have this hanging over a table where I would never walk, so even thought it takes up some space, it's really not in the way. I have however started dialogue with the Misses about expanding the hobby room.... ... it is starting to get a little cramped!

I was a Corally guy for many years. 1/12th scale rocks, very intense stuff.

4 cell all the way. Back in about 1999-2000 we went to the NORRCA world championships in Minneapolis and our top dog won first in stock four cell. And one of our former members who moved to Minneapolis took second in mod. We had a great time. I was leading the B-Main in stock class till some kid punted me at around the 7 minute mark. Knocked one of the motor wires loose when I hit the wall after launching over the barrier. He hit me pretty hard. I qualified fourth in the B-main but had them put me at the back of the pack, they couldn't figure out why I did that until they saw the no. 2 place take out no. 1 in the first turn causing a total pileup which I just drove through and stayed out front till I got knocked out. Those were the days. It was fun, but I like flying planes better. Not such intense competition, only competing against yourself to improve all the time. Also not such a comittment time wise to support the club etc.
